Donald Trump Commutes Life Sentence of Former Chicago Gang Leader Larry Hoover

Donald Trumo has pardoned former gang leader Larry Hoover, who has been locked up since the 1970s.

President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, as the former Chicago gang leader was set to spend the rest of his years behind bars in Colorado. Trump has dished out quite a few pardons in recent weeks while in the Oval Office, and he commuted the multiple life sentences of the Gangster Disciples’ founder on Wednesday (May 28), according to the Chicago Sun–Times. Hoover has continued to petition for a criminal sentence, and U.S. District Judge John Blakey heard a mercy bid from the former gang leader in 2024.
